　　Perhaps you have been told about some habits which keep a person from reading fast, and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have.

　　Do you still have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering “yes ”or“no”to these questions.

　　1.Do you move your lips(嘴唇)when reading silently?

　　2.Do you point to words with your finger as your read?

　　3.Do you move your head from side to side as you read?

　　4.Do you read one word at a time?

　　If you answer“yes”to any of these questions ,start at once to break the habits. If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips when you are reading. Then if your lips move ,you will know it and can stop them .If you point to words , hold two sides of your book , one side with your left hand ,the other side with your right hand .Then you will not have a free finger to use in pointing while reading .If you move your head ,place your chin(下巴) in one hand ,and hold your head still .If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time ,you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance (瞥视)as your eyes travel across the lines of words.

　　We need to be responsible for our environment. Being a frugal consumer(节俭的消费者) is one way to help. But, what exactly does that mean?

　　Use It Up

　　You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze that last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. Use the last little piece of soap. Don't throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.

　　Wear It Out

　　You do not always need to have new things. Suppose your sneakers have broken laces, but they still fit you. Repair them and wear them longer. You don't have the latest iPhone until the old one doesn't work anymore. Then you can get a new one. Think twice before replacing something that still works.

　　Make It Do

　　When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to take its place. Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich. You are out of butter. Have a cheese sandwich instead so that you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix broken toys instead of just throwing them away. With a little thought, you can make something do, instead of buying something new.

　　Do Without

　　Think about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up your world's resources(资源). And, getting rid of the things we don't want any more takes up even more resources and space.

　1.Do we need to be responsible for our environment?

　2. How do we deal with the last little piece of soap?

　3.When do we need to get a new iPhone?

　4. What should we do when something we want is not on hand？

5.What does the writer want to tell us?

Americans love sports—they love to play them, to watch them on television, and to talk about them. But this hobby sometimes has serious results—at least to the players. For example, when people play tennis, sometimes they hurt their elbow（肘部）and in this way they develop “tennis elbow” Also it is easy to hurt a knee in a football game. These injuries（损伤）happen while the player is having fun, but they still hurt.

A few months ago, Kathleen Simmons, who loves playing volleyball, hurt her knee in a volleyball game. Her doctor told her that she needed a very difficult operation（手术）or she might not be able to play again. She felt very sad and didn’t know what to do.

Then Simmons learned about “video operation”. With the help of this new science in medicine, doctors can now repair many injuries and get people back on the playing field and back to their jobs much faster. Simmons found a hospital that was using this new science and went to see the doctor there. The doctors told her the operation could help.               

For this operation, her doctor didn’t have to open her knee. Instead he put a very small camera lens（镜头）inside her knee. The lens sent back pictures, which appeared on a television screen. As he worked, he could see the inside of her knee on the TV. With the help of the large pictures on the screen, the doctor knew exactly what to do when he was making the repairs.

　　Simmons started walking five days after her operation. “My knee hurt a lot the first few days,” she said. “But I felt better very quickly.” Now, six months after her operation, Simmons can do everything she did before her injury. “It feels like a new knee,” she said. “I can even play volleyball again.”

　　  1. Do Americans love sports?

　　  3. What did the doctor put inside Simmons’ knee?

　　  5.What’s the advantage（优点）of the new science?
